WOMEN OF CENTRAL SOUDAS.
A Bevy of African Beauties--Dress
and Jewelry---Social Restrictions

The women of the household have
got over their first tremors, and com;
to the conclusion that we are a good.
natured and harmless looking sort OF
fellows. at first they peep over the
wall or out of neighboring doorways
till, growing bolder, they venture in
groups out OF their hiding places to see,
and doubtless TO be seen. Not TO alarm
them, we take notes surreptitiOuSly
and observe that they make up quite
chronological collection of African
types. Fillani and Haussa women
from the neighbOThood, Nupe and
Yoruba specimens from the Niger SIs'
tricts, and others from the tribes OF
Adamawa and the Benne region. Clearly

sents all kinds OF face aud figures, from
the copper colored EIIlani, with slender,

form, black skin, ugly face and muddy
eyes of the lowest negro type.
They are all dressed alike, with a
lower turkedi or cloth around the
waist, hanging to the ankles, second
sheet wound round the body under the
modes of shawl on the head and
shoulders. The hair is gathered into a
solid ridge of grease and hair, which
extends from the brow TO the nape of
the neck, something after the manner
OF the crest OF a helmet. From each
temple hangs kind of stiff love lock.
The ankles are adorned with enor-
mously heavy anklets of solid brass,
the bar being little short of an inch and
half in thickness, the ends OTna-
nented with neatly made polygonal
beads. Nothing better finished could
be- turned out of a European " woakshop.
Round the wrist are placed several
more bracelets, not so eIpansively
made, but collectively SO heavy that TO
ease their arms the wearers are fire.

men, do not affect white coiors, the

dark blue, a medium tint of the same,
white and magenta. Among those who
can afford expensive articles the latter
two co.ors are prevalent.
Strangers are not usually admitted

found fastened around the neck OF
Cnarlemange at the opening of his

them presented to the rirst emperor.

to repel gout and aQue and endow the
wearer with courage-a portion or the
HOLY Cross and some other relics of
the Holy Land. These are lnclosed In
a fiIipree work of fine gold, set with rare
gems. A French journal while de-
scriping the talisman as La plus belle

that the former good fortune of the

Tribute to His Memory.
BATH, Me-, Jan. 26.-There was an in
creased attendance at to-day's session of the
Maine G.. A. R. Commander-in- Chief Fair
child was enthusiastically received and made
an admirable address. General James A.
Hall presented resolutions, which were adopt
ed, calling upon the Congressman of
Maine to use their influence to
secure a pension of $12 month for widows
of every honorably discharged soldier. Sal
aries were voted for various officers includ-
ing $50 for chaplain. Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin presented resolutions on the death of Cen
eral Logan, which were unanimously adopt
ed, that the comrades of the G.. A. R.
for the department of Maine learned with
feelings of profound and mingled sorrow of
the sad and sudden death of our distin-
guished and hertic comrade, late past
communicated General John A. Logan;
that General Logan. at the time when
called to another life, as witnessed in his
gallant and heroic services in the field to
save and aperpetnate the life of the nation
and in his u broad u and comprehensive
craftsmanship in the Senate, always
standing for the righe as he saw it, united
and possessed in a. greater degree
than any other man the elements of =, both
soldier and, statesman He was, truly and
pre- e,ninentlya the great and distinguished
soldier statesman of our country. He is an
other marked instance Of the possibilities
furnished by our system of government to j
all its citizens, gallant, hereic, and without
fearfin the, field and wise in the councils of
the government; that the deceasa of General,
Logan, is q. great il loss to the nation -!
His wise counsel and /. prompt, aud earnest
action will be greatly missed. but when
by his comrades to whom he was attached by
tue strong ties of service in the field, and in
the care and promotion of whose rights in
the Senate he always stood in advance
upon the, IS outer wall. His loss
is 81 mourned and his memory
will be cherished by all patriotic men who
love republican institutions. He was
an honest man, the noblest work of
God. He was a man of strong and
earnest convictions and possessed the
moral courage to stand by them to the end.
That we extend our sincere and heartfelt
sympathy to the mourning widow and
children of the deceased in their
sad bereavement. Time and time only
will heal their wounds, and while
we thus extend oi.r warmest sympathy, we
feel that we can and do express alike our
gtatefulness that Mrs. Logan was the wife of
such a noble husband and the children posses

The Democrats Have a Little Harmless
Amusement All by Themselves.
TRENTON, Jan. 26-The Assembly met
this morning at 1880 and at noon motion
to adjourn with view to going into joint
meeting prevailed. All the Republicans,
however, Immediately left the chamber SO
as to prevent quorum. On the joint meet
ing assembling Assemblyman Hudspeth was
chosen to preside. The roll was called and
thirty-nine members, all Democrats, were
present. Senator Chattle and Speaker Baird
Deems J together with the two Labor men
remained out with the Republicans. 1t takes
Al votes to constitute majority of the legis-
lature. Chairman Beckwith, following the
United States statutes, called for the reading
of the record of yesterdays senatorial vote in
each house. Senator Livingston, on the part
of the senators present, stated that owing to
the failure of the Senate to take action there
was no record to present from that body.
The record of the Assembly was called for
next; it was read by the clerk. Mr.. Noonan
afterward moved that as the houses sepa-
rately had not agreed upon United States
senator another ballot be now taken. Mr..
Throckmorton, whose absence from the
Democratic caucus yesterday had given
uneasiness here took the floor and stated
his belief that the time had not arrived yet
for ballot. He believed the law was
clear in requiring that ballot be not taken
till two weeks after the legislatures organi-
cation was completed. The motion, how
ever, prevailed, 81 to 2, and nominations
were called for. Mr.. Beckwith, of Atlantic,
in forcible speech nominated Ex-Governor
Leon Albeit. Mr.. Throckmorton nominated
Ex-Governor Joseph D. Bedle. He said he
didn't believe any one man owned the Demo-
cratic nomination. A ballot was then taken
and of the SO Democrats present 80 voted for
Mr.. Albeit and Throckmorton alone for
Bedle. The chairman, Mr.. Hudspeth, an
nounced that no candidate had received a
majority of the legislature AID therefore
there was no election. An adjournment
thereupon took place till noon tomorrow.
The House met again at 8 p. m. and adj
journed after entering few bills. 1t will
meet Friday simply to adjourn until
Monday. The Democrats propose to meet in
joint assembly every day and vote for Alb
bett, but even if they should capture the
votes of the three Albeit kickers there is
doubt of the United States Senate consider
ing it valid election. The Republicans
find the whole situation very amusing, but
refrain from being present at any joint as
sembly, as even three negative votes would
give the quorum required for election. Re-
publican Senators Fish and Griggs advise
the Senate to organize and declare it illegal
to hold out longer. They fear to provoke
the Democrats, who talk of unseating some
Republican assemblymen, beginning with
Speaker Armstrong.

ONeill was ordered to be confined IN the

say that if any such attempt at approaching
should occur TO either of the other jurors, it
is their duty to report the matter that the
court may take steps for the discovery and
punishment of the offenders. Unfortunately
in this case the identity of the offender is
lost" Juror William Bumgarten: "Your
honor, I have been approached in nearly the
same way. A man called at the house. of my
brother in-law, but am in the same condi-
ton as the other juror. No attempt was
made to find out who the caller was" Mr..

proper steps would be taken for punishment.
stAll we ask is a jury of twelve competent,
intelligent and fair citizens, and we will do
all in our power to aid the court in discover
ing these or like Offenders" said Mr.. Brooke.

Several of the companies of the city bat

winter than a year ago, which is especially
noticeable in the Grays and City Guard, who
had very creditable drills last evening. After

Lieutenant John Widman, jr., who rendered
his resignation, has been urged to withdraw

The Confidence schemes of a Woman
and Her Pretty Daughter In Mon.
treaI.
New YORK, Jan. ga special from Mon
treal to the Evening Post says: Mrs. Hudson
and her daughter, notorious confidence wo-
men hailing from New York and Boston,
have just succeeded in victipiEing leading
tradesmen, clergymen and others in this city.
In company with her pretty, eonfding seven.
teen year old daughter she arrived here last
October, bearing forged letters of recon-
mendation to some of the best families and
business houses. She claimed to be the widow
of New York physician and to be physi-
clan herself She engaged the ladies' ordi-
nary of the Windsor Hotel, in which to lee
ture to women. In appearance she was tall
nd refined, with clear: cut features and au
burn hair. She wore a wig. Her daughter
resembled her. Both were cool and collected
under the most trying circumstances. In No
vember Mrs. Hudson began operations by
purchasing a large amount of goods from
or possible. Many clergymen were among
the number of those victimized. The first
firm to become susp icious was that of James
Morgan & Son, one of the largest dry goods
houses in the city, who began an investiga-
ton personally and through their agents,
which led to the arrest of the swind1ers. Pri-
vate arrangements were made by which the
mother was allowed TO go to New York to
get money to settle up, leaving the daughter
as a hostage She never came back and the
daughter was turned out of her boarding house
The mother has served two terms-one in
New York of three months for stealing
spoons from her hotel; the other of one year
for similar crime in Boston. The daugh-
ter's unsophisticated manner is said to make
her by far the moro dangerous of the two.
They are related to good families in Boston,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia, who have cast
them off. Blackmailing is one of these wo-
mems resorts and was tried at their boarding
house in McGill College avenue in this city.
The amount they have succeeded in extort-
ing from people is said to exceed $4,000.
